P4093

Subject: Bradford C.T. chassis and lower deck body frame
Chassis: AEC 661T
Body: English Electric
Location: Preston, Dick, Kerr works
Date: 1934

Demonstration of ease of repair of metal-framed body. This shows the structural repairs completed at 1115. Obviously it helps if you're at the factory where identical vehicles are being built when it comes to obtaining spare frame sections. Nonetheless, the repair was quite quick and was no doubt intended to convince reluctant operators that repair of damaged metal-framed bodies was quite easy.
